With our approach, the neural machine translation significantly improves translational performance for English-to-Assamese and Assamese-to-English translation and obtain state-of-the-art results. Moreover, the pre-trained embeddings on the monolingual data of transliterated source and target languages are used in the training process. In the transliteration approach, the source language is transliterated into target language script that leverages a smaller subword vocabulary for the source-target languages. In this work, we have explored neural machine translation on low-resource English-Assamese language pair with a proposed transliteration approach in the data preprocessing step.

Also, neural machine translation handles rare word problems, i.e., low-frequency words translation at the subword level, but it shows weakness for highly inflected language translation. Although neural machine translation attains remarkable translational performance, it requires adequate amount of train data, which is a challenging task for low-resource language pair translation. Natural language translation is a well-defined task of linguistic technology that minimizes communication gap among people of diverse linguistic backgrounds.
